Abstract

Result-oriented research can uncover hidden flood management obstacles and propose solutions that, if combined with political will, appropriate technology, and resources, can overcome the majority of Africa's future flood calamities. In view of this, it is critical to examine researchers' findings on flood hazard management, particularly now that the continent is struggling with COVID-19 and other hazards. This study employed a systematic review approach to critically analyze 103 contextually detailed studies with a set of criteria that were not only meant to keep the focus on floods and the COVID-19 pandemic but also to understand the context of managing floods during COVID-19 and other hazards at the same time on the continent. I found that the authors strongly recommend how institutions should create non-structural enabling environments for managing combined hazards. Also, researchers paid little attention to recommending ecosystem-based measures for flood management during the COVID-19 pandemic in Africa. Future research should study how different countries in Africa are preparing to manage multiple future hazards, including the comparative assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of individual countries' planning and preparation.

多重灾害背景下的洪水灾害管理:对2019冠状病毒病大流行期间非洲洪水灾害管理的系统回顾
以结果为导向的研究可以发现隐藏的洪水管理障碍,并提出解决方案,如果与政治意愿、适当的技术和资源相结合,就可以克服非洲未来的大部分洪水灾害。有鉴于此,研究人员对洪水灾害管理的研究成果至关重要,尤其是在非洲大陆正与 COVID-19 和其他灾害作斗争的今天。本研究采用了系统回顾的方法,对 103 项背景详细的研究进行了批判性分析,并制定了一系列标准,这些标准不仅要关注洪水和 COVID-19 大流行,还要了解 COVID-19 期间洪水管理的背景以及非洲大陆同时存在的其他灾害。我发现,作者们强烈建议各机构应如何为管理综合灾害创造非结构性的有利环境。此外,研究人员很少关注建议在 COVID-19 大流行期间在非洲采取基于生态系统的洪水管理措施。未来的研究应研究非洲不同国家如何为管理未来多种灾害做好准备,包括对各个国家规划和准备工作的优缺点进行比较评估。

期刊介绍: Discover Water is part of the Discover journal series committed to providing a streamlined submission process, rapid review and publication, and a high level of author service at every stage. It is an open access, community-focussed journal publishing research from across all fields relevant to water research. Discover Water is a broad, open access journal publishing research from across all fields relevant to the science and technology of water research and management. Discover Water covers not only research on water as a resource, for example for drinking, agriculture and sanitation, but also the impact of society on water, such as the effect of human activities on water availability and pollution. As such it looks at the overall role of water at a global level, including physical, chemical, biological, and ecological processes, and social, policy, and public health implications. It is also intended that articles published in Discover Water may help to support and accelerate United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 6: ‘Clean water and sanitation’.
